Lets see your ghetto projects

[Joel]

1990 Ford probe GT
SLS FMIC
Custom mig welded IC piping
Greddy type RS BOV
boost controller on 15 psi
Had some sort of Grounding issue. The headlights would go into open loop and open and close continuously unless the car was in gear. Anyone remember how it blinked when I shifted ?
Ran for like 4 hours... then sold it non running and made all my money back.

My purple crx when it had the glory of the ls swap... lol

[HiImBrian]

By ghetto, do you mean ghetto rigged??? lol

I had to throw on my smic when we installed my fmic because we were one pipe short. It just so happened that the smic was a perfect fit and completed the piping. I ONLY LEFT THIS ON FOR THE DRIVE HOME. THIS WAS NOT PERMANENT! I've posted this before and nobody ever reads the description and ppl think I left it that way. lol

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you guys spend on your ghetto/budget turbo setups?
How or where did you source your parts?
This is for anyone who wants to reply.

I would still like to do a junkyard turbo on the DX, but only after I get back on my feet. God it sucks not having a job.

idk on my boost coupe i spent about $800-1000 ish on the kit, then darkelvis did a lil street tune on it(aka: pull fuel on a afc, lol).

on 4 door i would say i had $400-500 in that kit, it was 90% made by me out of other peoples junk. and it worked great for what i wanted. ran 14.7 in the 1/4.....

HF mani, adaptor plate, dsm turbo, dsm 450's, dsm smic... probably the cheapest turbo setup, since most of it u can get off a junked dsm...

[zbrown]

I win....

Eaton M90 off of a thuderbird.... plumbed pre throttle body with a blow off valve and recirc valve

$150 for the blower, was like $50 to have a V pulley modded to the blower, and a couple dollars for other odds and ends

was a junior or sophmore in HS when i did that, lol

Had a huge thread on rx7club.com for this, 50k+ views

I've since sold the car (a couple years after this pic was taken). And, I hope you're kidding.

im not joking. if i could redo my setup using no actual piping whatsoever and utilize only intercoolers i think id see some very significant gains.

it's the introweb. There's definitely some dumb ppl on this board so I wasn't sure.

[bubba]

actually from what Ive heard... when it come to those rear-mount turbo setups, they do loose a psi or so, but the intake temps are so much cooler, that it actually increases the power...
